Prostate hypertrophy is difficult to facilitate! Have a look at friends who have frequent urination, urgency, and waiting for urination

Many men have such memories: When they were young, a group of teenagers played a "competition" to see who could urinate the highest and farthest. The "champion" always received a good evaluation from everyone, while the one with the worst "record" was inevitably teased and given a bad evaluation. Experts say that boys can easily urinate high and far, earning good reviews from everyone. However, when they get older, let alone participate in this "competition", it is not easy to urinate comfortably. Many elderly men suffer from prostate hypertrophy and are plagued by frequent urination, urgency, pain, endless urination, and inability to urinate. Experts tell male friends that enlarged glands can easily cause "convenience" difficulties.

What is prostatic hypertrophy?

Experts say that prostate hypertrophy, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, is a common disease that significantly increases the prostate gland and affects the health of elderly men. In elderly men, testicular function deteriorates, hormone levels decrease, and sexual hormone imbalances cause progressive hyperplasia of connective tissue and smooth muscle tissue in the middle or inverted lobe of the submucosa of the urethra, leading to multiple spherical nodules, causing prostate hypertrophy, and leading to a series of functional disorders in the urethra, bladder, and kidneys.

"Male patients with prostate hypertrophy initially manifest as increased urination frequency, which can range from 5 to 6 times at night, and the duration of urination becomes longer."; As the condition worsens, urination becomes more and more difficult, and sometimes it is necessary to hold your breath to increase abdominal pressure to help urinate. With a long time of urination, the urine line becomes thin and weak, and it cannot be shot far; Over time, the compensatory capacity of the bladder will gradually lose. If effective treatment is not available at this time, the prostate will become further congested and edematous, and obstructive symptoms will continue to worsen. This may lead to hydroureter and loss of renal function, leading to uremic symptoms such as coma, which can be life-threatening.

Experts say that if men experience symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination, thinning of the urinary line, incomplete urination, and inability to urinate, they should immediately go to the hospital for examination and treatment to avoid being "inconvenient" when they want to make it convenient.

How to prevent prostate hypertrophy?

Men should pay attention to developing good living habits, which is conducive to preventing prostate hypertrophy. Experts say that the following are well evaluated prevention methods:

1. Strengthen one's physique

Moderate physical exercise can strengthen the physique, improve the body's immunity, promote blood circulation and lymphatic circulation, and have a health effect on the prostate.

2. Avoid overwork

When the human body is too tired, the middle qi will be lost, and the lack of middle qi will lead to weak urination, which is easy to cause urinary retention. Therefore, work and exercise should be moderate, and do not overwork in pursuit of good evaluation.

3. Avoid sitting and cycling for long periods of time

Sitting and cycling for a long time can compress the prostate gland, leading to perineal congestion, causing difficulty urinating, and even inducing prostatitis and prostate hypertrophy.

4. Drink plenty of water without holding back urine

Drinking 8 cups of warm boiled water every day can promote metabolism, dilute urine concentration, and urinate more to promptly expel waste from the body, reducing the risk of prostate disease.

5. Don't smoke or drink too much

A large amount of smoking and drinking will cause congestion and edema in the prostate and bladder neck, which is prone to urinary retention. Therefore, for health, men should not smoke or drink too much.

6. A light diet

Daily diet should be based on a light diet, eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, and not eating too much spicy food, otherwise it can lead to sexual organ congestion, causing difficulty in urination, or exacerbating the condition.

7. Supplement beneficial trace elements

Men should supplement an appropriate amount of beneficial trace elements, such as zinc, which can improve the anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects of the prostate. Foods rich in zinc include peanut kernels, sesame seeds, almonds, pumpkin seed kernels, and can be eaten in moderation.

8. Regular physical examination

Older men should receive regular health checks in order to detect problems as soon as possible and receive symptomatic treatment as soon as possible.
